Hitchcut Display font

This is Hichcut—a big, bold display font, it’s a play on Hitchcock and cut out (pretty obvious huh!).

It’s wholly inspired by the movie poster vertigo, Saul Bass, and Alfred Hitchcock - it’s a homage more than a slavish copy.

It's retro but modern at the same time.

Childlike but not childish

For Hitchcut, I wanted to have that childlike, playful look and feel. It’s letter shapes are simple and even border on crude.

Straight lines for everything, like it’s been cut out with scissors. This makes it very legible at any size, but it looks better at large point sizes.

Font Usage

Hitchcut is a bold display type, so you can use it for headlines, cards, invites, logotypes, magazines and, of course, movie posters. It's ultra bold style should lend itself to any kind of messaging, use it in all caps or in sentence case.
